Advanced version of alarm clock chicken coop closer
Dragonflypower.com has details on a new automatic
chicken coop door closer.
It's quite an advanced
version of the alarm
clock coop closer and in
my opinion deserves some attention for those thinking of making their
own similar contraption.

I do NOT like the alarm clock thing about this, however I do see the very good possibility if this being used with a 4 or 6 in linear actuator.
If you put a hinge point on the lever where the shock/strut is (replaced by a linear actuator), the door will still move out of the way but takes up less room.
